Conflict of Interest

Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

Note: "Payment for Services" includes the compensation for both her and that of her spouse's with the same entity. The outcome of the research is of significant business interest to the entity and therefore the financial interest could likely change based on the research results.

Listed Research Project
Defining the biological relevance of HIV-1 adaptation to CD4 T cell responses

Project Narrative CD4 T cells are critical to an effective host immune response, and we have shown they mediate HIV adaptation. This study will employ novel techniques to determine how HIV adaptation to CD4 T cell responses affects HIV immunity, infection, and clinical disease in HIV vaccine recipients and a unique cohort of newly infected patients. These findings would be highly relevant for optimizing future HIV-1 vaccine designs for prevention and treatment.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
